I agree with the above person who commented. Are you crazy to house these lovely animals in such an inappropriate manner? Do your reading about the proper care and housing for these animals.

I have this fake tortoise too, but I put it on the screen on the cage. I was afraid my box turtle would nibble on it and that's dangerous.
